Sort of reminds me of how Japan has mastered high end denim despite it being a very American product.
It is such an American comment. Cheese is a very diverse food and putting on pizza itself not a quality.
But my main point is that: Ranking food is so American. I like to draw this comparision: Germany today has the highest share of people not born in the country (20%). So it is not a surprise the local cuisine is heavily influenced by foreign cuisines. The most famous dish of that process is Döner, originated from the Turkish Döner Kebab. So what are the Germans handle this fact? At least if you read comments in r/Döner, it is seen as just two different dishes with its own qualities. You can't get the OG Döner Kebab (and all its variants) in Germany very easily, but vice versa German - styled Döner in Turkey isn't so good. And I like that attitude. Food is art. You can't just rank art. But Americans still try.
The 10,000 foot summary I had was: Americans are starting to die earlier, but the age expectancy of the wealthiest Americans is longer than of people in most countries.
This article says that even the American top 1% die earlier than people in other countries. However, the lack of numbers makes me question this.
Also, the cited reason is socialized healthcare. In the US, the top 1% has access to healthcare through their employers of being able to pay on their own, so it is surprising that this would be a major factor.
I think this article is lacking the details that would make me take the claims seriously.
Also the health system in America is fucked. This isn't a question of socialised vs privatised system as all health systems in Europe have a mix of both. (England is a big outlier here).
